How to get Copper in Back 4 Blood

Copper is the in-game currency that players can use to make purchases in Back 4 Blood.

There are several useful ways that players can spend Copper. It can be spent on upgrade items, weapons, or cards that can help improve the skills of the Cleaners used to take on the undead.

Copper is found all over Back 4 Blood, but there are many surefire ways to obtain it. Players need to search each level, complete challenges and survive the Ridden to get as much Copper as possible.

When a player collects Copper, it is given to every player if they are in a group. It isn't split or divided between them. Everyone in the party receives the entire amount of Copper found to their name.

This makes finding Copper all the more important because there is no need to share. However, sharing is possible by opening the inventory and dropping Copper stacks to allies.

As the Cleaners move through various levels and fight the Ridden, they can stop and find Copper all over. Search inside cars, buildings, and different stash rooms to find Copper in the most basic way.

To boost the amount of Copper being gained, players can use different cards. These provide a special ability to Cleaners, and a lot of them help gather Copper in Back 4 Blood.
